The Oyster Ind usGry

memsrial to be presented 10 the Legis-
ls,ure with reference TO the oyster question Is
now being circulated throughout the State. IL
describes the importance Of the oyster industry
to the people and the rapid depletion in the sup
ply which has been going on for some time,
especially by the expectation Of young oysters
10 northern markets. The me mortal ihss asks
the Legislature to pass laws: First-To pro.
h;bi, the expectation OF seed oysters. Second
To appropriate sutfieientsum to purchase seed
oysters and plan, them on the public oyster
grou nds and beds of he State. Thrd-To per-
NIT the privilege Of taking State planted oysters
only 10 our own cI,izens upon . payment Of
tax per ushel upon oysters sc'ually taken.
Fourth-Tha, the fund thus raised te applied
srst to reIsy the treasury tie sum advanced for
the pl-n,ing OF oysters; and, second, be kept
as perpetual trust to keep repl.nished and in
good cendi,icn The OF ster grouads Of he State.
AT every .ess ion Of the Legi.lsture the oyster
question is disc used, and there are so many
pl4,s brousht forward for the protection Of the
beds. that il is q hard matter 10 decide on the
oae most feasible. Our idea 10, stop all drsdE.

will be no more compliant about their scarcity.

The Weather.

The Weather.
We spoke last week of the exceeding mild
winter weather . had enjoyed up to Christians
and alluded to the contrast between it and the
weather for the same period in 1886. We must
now cry halt, tor the change has come, and
since the heavy rain on Wednesday the atmos-
phere has undergone 4 decided change, and
those v ho are compelled to expose themselves
in the open air bear evidence Of its changed
condition in red faces and tingliug frosty SEN
saiions which the bi,isg atmosphere causes
them to fell The ponds and all standing water
are covered with heavy coating Of ice which
bids fair to increase in thickness, for during
yesterday there was no appearance Of thawing
but the decided win,ry weather of Wednesday
night has continued and caused the ice 10 still
further solidify. A few more days of such cold
ness will BILE farmers and others to ga her ia
their supply Of ice, ard all whose houses are
not prepared to receive 1t had better begin put
ting them in order at once.

The symptoms of RiIiousness are unbappily

Probable Officers.

The general talk in democratic political
circles points in the direc ton Of Senator Geo.
Peter, of Montgomery county, for President o.
the Senate, with Senator Richard H. Edelen,
of Charles as we'll backed competitor II there
shou Id happen to be a contest in the caucus 'er
officers. which will be held in Annapolis on
Tuesday evening, January 3rd. Mr.. Purne'l
Of Cecil, is said to be booked for re election as
secretary of the Senate, place he has efhcientiy
filled. Mr. Dawson, of Baltimore city, Is
ca ndidsre for re election as the Senate journal
clerk, and the reading clerks place is open. ln
the House OF Delegates the situatlon,a as looked
to be for some time past was changed last
week. For several " eeks the belief was genera
among the friends OF Mr. Peter } Campbell, o.
the first legislative district of Baltimore city,
that he would be easy winner Of the speaker
ship. with Mr.. George NJ Upsbur. OF Worcester
county, as his competitor. Now it is said the
positions are reversed, with Mr. Upshur well at
the front AS a probable winner. The candidacy
OF Mr.. Eugene Higgins for chief clerk OF the

as if the E,ls9ern Shore will get Nr. Upshur for
Snenker and Baltimore city will present Mr..

Halloween and All Saints Day.

Monday was All lI,llow's Eve, or, As it
is more generally styled, Halloween. As this
night was looked upon in by gone-days as a
time when supernatural Influences were all
powerful and when spirits walked abroad i'll
true ghostly fashion, its observance was for
centuries attended by host of weird ceremo-
MES. Nowadays, however, the customs of
All HallOw's Eve are rather of 4 more cheer
full character. Various innocent amusements
| are INDUCED in, and sIortively the maid will
try to guess who Or what sort of man her FIJI
ture husband will. be. Tuesday was All Saints
Day, festival in honor of all the angels and
saints, observed in the Catholic, Episcopal and
and Lutheran churches. The feast was insti
tuted by Pope Bunifee ~, in the early pal
of the seventh century.
